Hummm... while at Photokina, Kodak announced their "new" Kodachrome
minilabs. Basically computer controlled Kodachrome processors with a much
less toxic process, which does not require a full time resident Kodachrome
super technician/chemist. These have been discussed in the photo journals
for the past couple of years. They are here.

So, if Kodachrome is dying, why is Kodak coming out with a line of "new"
Kodachrome processors?

Could it be that they are also coming out with a "new" line of Kodachrome film?
